Abstract

X-Ray has been a commodity that is now often used in the medical field for imaging purposes, both screening and diagnostic. Mammography, one form of modality, is used to detect for ailments such as breast cancer or micro calcifications. It is often referred in combination with an ultrasonography (USG) examination or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) depending on the patient’s condition and the doctor’s needs. Since mammography uses radiation in its usage, its exposure needs to be controlled to avoid over exposure that would lead to many unwanted results. This research focuses on measuring the radiation dosage during a mammography examination. The research was done by using a thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) chips placed in the film plate during a mammography procedure taken from two views, the craniocaudal (CC) view and the mediolateral oblique (MLO) of each breast and was conducted with a total of fifteen patients (15). The study shows no outliers and there are also new advancements towards dose reduction under development and some are even available in the market today. The result of the dosage was within the parameter of the guidance from IAEA and BAPETEN.
